For the Affinities exhibition in the Deutsche Guggenheim, commissioned artworks were newly created for the Deutsche Bank Collection. Right at the start, the artist duo Clegg & Guttmann were asked to portray the members of the bank’s Management Board who have been responsible for the Deutsche Guggenheim since 1997. Besides the founder Hilmar Kopper, these are Rolf-E. Breuer and his successor Tessen von Heydebreck. Taken in three individual shootings, these photographs can be put together as a whole and seen as an image of the first decade. The photo portraits complement their pendant, the diptych by the Austrian artist Erwin Wurm. In front of the spectacular titanium façade of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, he took a photograph of Thomas Krens standing over Ariane Grigoteit (the Deutsche Bank Collection) with the title Don’t trust your curator.
